means a coffee that will get you even more addicted, will grow for a quarter of the cost, produce more beans per square-foot and require less sunshine and water.
Oh yeah, it won't taste as good but that's alright cause most people won't care after their first sip.
hey as much as I am a philantrope and hate seeing my friends suffer I feel there is nothing bad with letting them suffer. When they do discover Gaim, and it is bug free and very usable, I'll even install it for them. But I don't want to ruin Gaim's reputation by prematurely migrating my friends to it when it is sub-par.
well you have been very lucky. My experience with it is that it is shaping up to be something awesome but as of right now it isn't worth pissing off users with it. It would gain a bad name and I just don't want people associating Gaim with unpolished and bug-ridden.
I have had my fair share of Gaim crashes when receiving an email notification (MSN) with international characters in its subject. I've had version 0.78 crash on me for no reason whatsoever. I've also had no progress bar when sending files up until 0.81 and before that it sometimes appeared and never went away. There are still lots of things that need to be dealt with before this program is usable for the majority of users. A small annoying bug could turn them away from using Gaim for good even if the next.01 increment would fix that bug and make the sofware perfectly alright for their usage. Better to be safe and make people see the show once it's ready for the road.
But I wouldn't tells Windows users to jump right away to Gaim. It is still in beta and has a slew of bugs. Telling Windows users who have no idea what Open Source Software is that they should use bug-ridden software is the wrong way to get them to like it. Gaim is only in version 0.81. Wait till it hits 1.0 before telling people to use it.
one reason could be that men had to gain strenght AFAP so it could go at it again. A woman once impregnated had to find food to feed herself and her baby.
Lots of countries (ie : France) are said to be anti-American nowadays.
Maybe France is only anti-American legistlation and doesn't want to become yet another star on your flag. People don't hate Americans they just hate the lawyers in the US that cause problems everywhere else with their unfair laws.
And it needs to act fast. I think Google needs to take over the browser of as many Windows machines as possible. We need a GoogleFox 1.0 and we want it now! Please let it be google that wins!
The DMCA was there to scare people like you and me away but I'm glad that Real shows us ways to circumvent things legally!:) Now FOSS needs to take a look at what has been done and see if we can't do the same!:)
I was looking for compact flash and asked the guy if they had anything bigger than 512m cause that was all I could see on the shelve. He was really trying to sell the 512m card to me saying I'd probably never be able to fill up such a big card. He asked me what kind of camera I had and I told him it was a 6.3 megapixel camera. He then seemed to take me a little more seriously.
He turned around and asked his collegue if they had any terabyte compact flash cards. His friend smiled and with a condescending look told me that terabyte compact flash cards didn't exist yet but they probably would soon. He then asked if I wanted him to check the prices on the 1gig card so I acquiesed. I thought that would take too much effort to explain that his friend needed a refresher on his removable media sizes so I just didn't bother and thought that he'd probably just laugh about it with some of his more knowledgeable friends.
I just asked him for the price for the 1gig compact flash and then jokingly asked him if I could do a preorder on the terabyte compact flash for when it comes out. He said that they didn't take pre-orders that far down the road. I laughed and left!:)
1. play sports 2. drink only on week ends (yeah drinking just a bit makes it harder to get a restful night) 3. I have sex (regularly) 4. I never have any cafeine after 3 in the afternoon. 5. try to keep my bed/eating time the same throughout the week (means week end too)
not ebooks per say but you get the point. I do prefer normal books though.
I'd have to say that the reason why I prefer reading normal paper books is that I can see better with them. They don't require recharging, they can be lost in the train/bus/metro without me worried about losing all my personal info or expensive device(Palm).
Now if the screens of portable devices approached the readability that a normal printed book had I'd be reading way more on them. But as it stands now I can't read an ebook for hours but I can read through hundreds of pages on a printed book without a problem.
the difference is that with PRK the surgeon doesn't need to peel off your cornea, he only removes a circle of epitelium and then the laser hits the surface directly. The healing process is slower than LASIK but the vision keeps improving with time. I couldn't function well the first couple of weeks, it was like having sand in my eyes all the time.
About a month and a half after the operation I was legally allowed to drive without glasses for the first time ever! I now sit at my computer for up to 12 hours a day and can't say I have any major problems compared to before. I got my eyes tested by a professional optometrist, I forget what my vision was exactly but one eye was better than normal vision and the other is slightly lower. This is in normal day time. At night my vision is good enough to drive but there is a small amount of hallow around bright objects. Nothing that bothers every day things but it makes it hard to star-gaze.
My eyes also get drier than normal but it's nothing I can't live with. If I had to do it all over again I would. I'm more than happy to not have to wear glasses or contacts!
When did people start doubting the GPL? Who started saying such things? I don't understand why it would be deemed invalid by anyone! IANAL but it seems to me that the licence is quite clear and there is no reason most civilized countries shouldn't find it valid with their laws.

Just not my cup of tea.

I'd drive any way I want and then I'd just upload information in there that makes me look good! :)
it is the most advanced Open Source database there is. If anything pissed you off with MySQL chances are Postgresql will have a solution for you.

IBM goes slow on XP update
yeah but did you ever try recompiling a Windows kernel? ;)
If my family is any indication then Windows isn't "ready for the desktop" either.

Should legislate a 7 years limit on software patents please. Thanks.
I try to run the terminal and it just opens up another window all together. Why is this?

I have no idea what that means.
that's a non sequitur. If sony screws up majorly and can't beat Apple it certainly doesn't mean that no one can.

my point exactly. If SCO says anything we should simply ignore it completely. thanks. :)

is that another one of those cool IE bars?
